really want voter ID laws in place to prevent certain demographics from
voting (for Barack Obama). Also, what exactly is all this "voter fraud"
we're supposed to be so afraid of?"Oh yeah, all that crazy 'voter fraud' that's going around. There's
so much 'fraud' around that free, anonymous civil right," she jokes.If that weren't enough, Sarah points out that U.S. Veteran photo ID
cards, social security cards and student IDs are not accepted under the
laws, but you can use gun permit IDs. You just can't make this stuff up.Watch Sarah's PSA above and go tohttp://letmypeoplevote2012.comfor more information.

5 things you should know about voter id laws

These are not bipartisan efforts. They are initiated by
Republicans, passed by Republicans, and signed into law by Republicans.
The State House Majority Leader in PA asserted that these voter
restrictions would allow Mitt Romney to win the state.

The voters most likely to be burdened by these new voting
restrictions are Democrats. Consider which voters don't have ID. Among
seniors and young voters, 18% don't have valid ID. Among African
Americans, 25% don't have valid ID.

Restrictions on voting, like poll taxes and "literacy" tests,
have a long history. They are used by one party to prevent supporters of
another party from voting.

If someone were trying to steal an election, in person voter
fraud, where a voter pretends to be someone they are not at the polls,
is the last method anyone would chose. Absentee ballot stuffing is much
easier. But more Republicans vote by absentee ballot. So no new
restrictions on absentee voting.

The Brennan Center has estimated that as many as 3.2 million
citizens could find it harder to vote because of new voter ID laws.
